Codat Partners with Scienaptic to Enhance SME Data With AI-Powered Credit Decisions

NEW YORK - March 1, 2021 - PRLog -- Scienaptic AI announced today the formation of an alliance with Codat that enables seamless integration of small business data into Scienaptic's AI-powered credit decisioning platform. By combining predictive tools with access to data that provides a holistic financial profile of an SMB, the partnership will help financial institutions to expand their loan portfolios through faster, better decision-making.

Codat – which has offices in London and New York – currently has over 70 clients, from lenders to corporate cards, insurance to cashflow forecasting, and more. Via a single API, it enables financial services organisations to integrate with a wide and growing range of accounting, banking, and commerce platforms used by their small business customers.

Lenders typically rely on credit-bureau data and financial statements to determine a firm's riskiness. However, that alone is not a sufficient indicator of financial stability or ability to repay, and can often paint a misleading picture of that firm's situation - especially in the rapidly changing COVID landscape. Scienaptic's AI-powered platform now combines Codat's access to rich business data to deliver superior risk assessment of SMEs.

"Open accounting platforms have transformed the way lending is done in the SME space. We are thrilled to have partnered with the global leader. It will enable us to integrate a wider range of non-traditional data into our platform for a 360-degree SME creditworthiness assessment," said Mark Dreux, Head of Strategy at Scienaptic.

"Working with Scienaptic is an important milestone for us," said Alex Cardona, COO and Co-Founder at Codat. "It is the first integration of our API into an AI-driven credit decisioning platform. This will result in very positive outcomes for both Scienaptic's clients and their customers. Combining our rich data connectivity and Scienaptic's AI-powered lending will enable more loan approvals, more quickly."
